A Navajo (Dine) woman kneeling at a stone metate to grind corn, both hands guiding a mano grinding stone over a bed of bright yellow kernels. She wears a long-sleeved turquoise blouse trimmed with floral detail, a silver-and-turquoise squash-blossom necklace, a cinched belt, and a patterned skirt.

The scene sits on an oval groundwork base dressed with earth and tufts of grass, making a complete self-contained vignette. Her focused expression, traditional dress, and the coarse stone metate are all crisply modeled.

An evocative figure for Southwestern pueblo, homestead, and daily-life dioramas and historical scenes. Adds authentic character to frontier model railroad layouts and historical tabletop settlements.
